Banana Cultivation: This fruit is the king of the market, farmers are earning lakhs every month

Banana Cultivation: A farmer in the Rajnandgaon district’s Kasari hamlet has made thousands of rupees by growing bananas. The farmer is making a decent profit from his two and a half acres of planted banana crop. The crop is collected one or two times a year, and bananas are sold for around ₹ 20 per kilogram. Through this farming, he is making millions of rupees.

Lunkaran Verma, a farmer in Kasari village, began cultivating bananas by planting plants on 2.5 acres of land. He said that growing bananas brings in a lot of money for him. In his farm, bananas from the first year crop are sold for between ₹ 14 and ₹ 20 per kg, and the second crop is nearly ready as well. When insecticides, fertilizers, and water are used correctly during cultivation, the crop’s quality rises.

Making lakhs by growing bananas

Carefully transplanted into the field, banana plants are carried in from outside. In a year, these plants begin to yield fruit. Every tree yields between five and ten kilograms of bananas, which growers sell for a healthy profit. Bananas cost between ₹ 15 and ₹ 20 per kilogram at the market.

Being mindful of other farmers

These days, the farmers in Kasari village are inspiring other farmers to grow bananas. Many farmers believe that growing bananas requires a lot of water, but Lunakaran Verma has shown that a satisfactory harvest can be produced with less water if the right conditions are met. He is educating other farmers about this agricultural method and encouraging them to use it.
